After Action Report
The Bobcats upended the Rockets 110-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Bobcats; the Bobcats answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bobcats · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Bobcats · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
